  1. By any chance is this filling? Finding that I'm always starving.

  3. My WLS was aug 12. I think the sore throat is from being intubated during surgery. I had some weird blisters on my lip as well. Went away after a few days.

  5. We are kind of in the same boat. Had my WLS aug 12. Still sore but i am freakin starving. Hoping and praying that in addition to the tremendous amount of willpower that we need, that somehow this band is going to help reduce the cravings.

  7. Very funny. These are much more enjoyable experiences than a button popping off and shooting 300 yards because they are too tight.
  8. In the short 4 days since my WLS, I've had no desire to share my news other than with immediate family. Everyone has their own issues, ie, being in therapy, alcohol/drug/food dependencies etc. that they don't share. I've basically told a few folks that I had hernia surgery. Similar pain and recovery time.
  9. Glad to hear it went well. Its been 2 days for me and each day gets a little better. The diet is a little strange.

  11. How did your surgery go? I had mine done on Monday 8/12
  12. thank you for the reply. Was it very difficult for you in the beginning? Aside from the physical discomfort from the procedure, did you start to question if you made the right decision?
  13. Hi all, Just had my surgery on Monday 8/12. Hoping to meet some new people and share helpful stories.
